BARN CLOSE PLAY AREA Firstly let me apologise for the lack of communication around the changes to the play area. The constraints due to the pandemic’s 2 lockdowns and Tier 2 restrictions meant that I was couldn’t visit the village and was therefore unable to talk to anyone other than Westward residents. We had to remove the equipment for health and safety reasons – this was paramount. I appreciate that other people in the neighbourhood used the park and would like a say in what happened next but it is only Westward residents who pay a service charge towards the upkeep and maintenance of the area. We get no financial support from either the parish or district council. Quotes for replacing the equipment came in at over £40K. Due to the Tier 2 restrictions we didn’t expect the work to take place until the new year so were very surprised at being told on Wednesday 2 December that work would begin the following Monday. I have spoken to everyone who contacted me to say they had been affected by the works and hope I have put their minds at ease. The area will have 3 small and one large raised planters for community use and in the new year seating and benches will be also be provided. As it is Westward’s land we take full responsibility for the grass cutting and grounds maintenance and we will continue to do so. Hopefully the restrictions in Devon will be lifted early in the new year and I will be able to talk to everyone face to face. In the meantime, if you would like to talk to me about any of this I can be contacted via email terry.leech@westwardhousing.org.uk or by phone 0300 100 1010 Terry Leech

RAINBOW OF THANKS So many people have spent much time knitting this colourful rainbow of thanks to all the key workers who have helped keep the country going and helping in any way they can, be it retail workers, ICU specialists, refuse collectors, posties or whatever,your role we thank you. THE DEVIL'S STONE INN COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT Following the latest Government announcement, unfortunately we will remain closed until we are moved into Tier 1. We are predominently a wet sales pub rather than a restaurant that allows customers to have alcohol with a substantial meal. We look forward to opening once again just as soon as we are in Tier 1 and thank all of our valued cusomers for your continued support. Steve, Chris & Murphy THE VILLAGE HALL The Village Hall Committee is aware of the sudden removal of the play area at Barn Close today, and we thought it might be helpful to give a little more information about the play area at the hall. The Shebbear Village Hall and Playing Field Committee is a registered charity that maintains the hall for the benefit of the community. As a charity, we simply don't have funds available to us to provide a direct replacement for the equipment for younger children that has just been removed. Particularly as we have just completed a major refurbishment of the toilets, and seen our income from bookings massively reduced this year due to Coronavirus. The best way to protect or enhance the play area at the village hall is to get involved! Our Committee of volunteers needs new members to help with the day to day running of the hall as well as fundraising events (when we can hold them). The playing field is a designated night landing site for Devon Air Ambulance, and is also used by the school for sports lessons and clubs. If you would like to join the Committee then please contact Lucy or Marie in the New Year and we can give you more details about what is involved. VH Committee SHEBBEAR PARISH COUNCIL WEBSITE The Parish Council have launched a new website, dedicated to the work of the council. It informs the public of their work and provides advance agendas and subsequent minutes of meetings. www.shebbearparishcouncil.org.uk REFLECTING SHEBBEAR Due to Covid 19 we have not had all of our regular contributions so are very short of content. Please if you can provide an article of 500 words or more we would be very grateful. Some ideas could be your experience of moving to Shebbear, what hobbies you have such as Bee Keeping etc or how Covid19 has changed your work and/ or home life.. These are just a few ideas but we would consider anything you send. If you have
an article or require any further information please contact Mike Darby
at salamanderservices@gmail.com articles are welcome at any time, but
